The 19th Welcome Event

【Event Report】

On Saturday, December 7, blessed with fine weather, an exchange event between international students and local citizens was held.

First, we visited the “Rinkai 3R Station” and “The Fukuoka Rinkai Incineration Plant” to learn about waste treatment and recycling, and then moved to the Chuo Wharf for lunch.

The weather was fine, so we enjoyed eating lunch and chatting on the deck.

After that, we moved to Bayside Place Hakata, where everyone visited Hakata Port Tower, Bayside Museum, etc.

After that, we boarded the cruise ship “YUNAMI” and enjoyed a round-the-bay cruise of Hakata Bay. It was a memorable day for the participants, who were impressed by the beautiful sight of Fukuoka City seen from the sea, which they usually cannot see, and were amazed by the gantry cranes they saw up close.

Participants commented that they enjoyed talking with people from various countries and that it was good to learn about Fukuoka that they did not know before.

All of the staff hope that international students and local citizens will continue to have a good time together in the future.
